There are few films that really strike the imagination and take the audience into another world. “Labyrinth” is one of those films. The movie comes from the inspiring mind of Jim Henson, creator of the muppets. His puppet mastering and visions were unique to the entertainment industry and the industry has never found a replacement since his death in 1990. “Labyrinth” was Henson’s last major production, although there are some credits to his name since his death.
The film is sometimes considered a sequel to Henson’s other major feature, “The Dark Crystal.” While there are no common threads between the stories and characters, Henson’s imagination is eminent throughout each and they feel tied together. While “The Dark Crystal” was purely puppets, “Labyrinth” incorporates human actors and puppets. George Lucas, creator of “Star Wars” is an executive producer of the film and handler of the visual effects.
